Inventory

The first step in managing your network is documenting what you have. Spiceworks can help you stay in control of your network by
capturing a full inventory of your network and helping you track it. Spiceworks can automatically find all of your network devices.
But you can also use it to track non-networked assets like projectors, phones, printers, and pretty much anything else you have to
manage at your company. Additionally, your inventory is automatically integrated with the trouble-ticket and monitoring systems within
Spiceworks.

Now that you’ve got the inventory application downloaded, it’s time to get it set up. Follow
through this page to go through setting up all the different aspects of the Spiceworks Inventory.
Once you get it all up and running, continue on to the next sections to become a pro at running it.

Having a properly set up inventory isn’t worth much if you don’t know the tricks to working it.
Check out this page to learn those tricks. And learn anything else that might come in
handy when using the inventory application. Things like the dashboard, people view, warranty scanning, software tracking, etc.

Built-in reports can tell you almost anything you want to know about the devices on your network quickly and in a manner that your
bosses can understand. You can use any number of the reports included with Spiceworks, create your own just by selecting what you
want to see, use SQL to create more advanced reports and add reports that other Spiceworks users have shared with the Community. To
